We didnt stay at the Folly but dined here on a couple of occasions. The food was sublime. We were fortunate enough to have a few drinks with Madam Helga herself one evening, unforgettable experience. The place is incredible. Go and see for yourself. More

character, complexion, difference, discreteness, distinctiveness, eccentricity, idiosyncrasy, individualism, originality, uniqueness, and STYLE. Welcomed with chilled ginger beer by staff dressed in tomato red to match the building. While being led through the cavern of rooms to our bedroom our eyes were captivated by colour and our ears by the strains of Marlene Dietrich. To stay here is to enveloped in... More

Had a tip from a friend to go here and very glad that i did. Only went for drinks and dinner, but it was the highlight of Kandy for my friend and I. If you are the type of person who likes clean cut 5 star boring places don't go here, but if you want an amazing experience that is... More

The house is like... More

We stayed here for one night in Jan 2012. The place is very different - covered in all sorts of memorabilia with an eccentric style. Monkeys swung past our room in the morning and it was just the right distance from town (a nice walk, and away from the noise). We only stayed one night as we felt we'd had... More

The bread was fresh, just out of the over and the spaghetti had a silky texture with a lovely tomato based vegetarian sauce.... More

We went as our travel agent gave us a lunch voucher. This place is amazing. The food is cooked to order and we had amazing Veggie Sri Lankan food. Ask for a tour of the place its beautiful and unique. Very quirky - I can imagine its love it or hate it. We loved it. More
